Has your little one ever reasoned a complex story and you end up twisting the plot to make it relatable? If you face questions like 'Who is Ganesha? What is Mahabharata? Who is Vyasa? why is one tusk of Ganesha broken?' then this is the book that would make your answer simpler.
The bigger kids will definitely enjoy and explore the abstract Illustrations. They are fresh and made of numerous patterns. I would love to mention one particular page with no words, a page that speaks of the entire Mahabharata through cute little cartoons!
I love it when the mouse counsels Ganesha and helps him overcome frustration created by his lopsided look.
This beautiful and colorful little board book on Ganesha tells your babies all about the elephant-headed god whom they consider their best friend!
It is 2019 and I envy South Asian mums. My daughter is 9 now and when I was a young mother, we had very few board books set in India or even about South Asians. Today, there are lots of board books for babies! Our board books are bestsellers and always sell out fast on Toka Shop. I am grateful that Toka Box takes so much care and effort to curate the best books, ones that are not just representative children's literature but books that matter and build a child's heart, mind, and soul.
Ganesha published by Om Kidz is everything you need in a board book. It is very colorful to behold. It is fabulous to hold and touch. The illustrations of Ganesha, Parvati, Shiva, Karthik/Muruga, and of course my personal favorite, Mooshik, are simply resplendent. Have a bad day or problems? Fear not! Ganesha is here to cheer you up!
This board book doesn't have a story but introduces us to Ganesha, his traits and his life. Each page contains a simple but beautiful fact about Ganesha -- he rides a mouse. He has a huge belly. He has only one tusk, and the reason for this is very interesting! Parents can expand on these little stories for their children. Storytelling builds powerful language skills in children. Our parents and grandparents told us these stories as kids. Pass them on to your little ones too!
Today, when we ask kids what Amazon is and they think of the delivery service instead of the rainforest, we need to establish important cultural pegs in their life. Sure, they can be citizens of the world, but having an anchor in their culture and identity means that they have something that truly their own. They can be millennials and still harbor values, no matter where their journey takes them. And having Ganesha on that journey is pretty wonderful!
Our parents and grandparents told us these stories as kids. Pass them on to your little ones too!

Out of the few children's books on Ganesha that I have come across, this has been my personal favorite. Starting with the title which really caught my attention, we loved everything about the book and thoroughly enjoyed reading it!
If you have a Disney fan at home, you may have heard of Mickey's Mousecapade, so had we... but we were surely intrigued to read about Ganesha's Mousecapade!
Ganesha's Mousecapade is a modern adaptation of the story of how Mushika, the mouse became Ganesha's unique vehicle! Written in age-appropriate language, the book is a great way to introduce concepts of spirituality along with the mythology.
Written by Swamini Supriyananda this book is part of the Chinmaya Bala Katha series of stories that re-tell ancient Hindu parables with a modern flavor.
The story starts with a familiar introduction of everyone's beloved Lord Ganesha who is powerful but still so kind and caring towards everyone! Most of us have read the story of Ganesha and different versions of how he got his Elephant head! But did you know that there was another person with an Elephant head? An Elephant headed Asura/ Demon, who was extremely jealous of Ganesha!
The Elephant head was the only thing he had in common with Lord Ganesha! He was awfully mean and a trouble maker and nothing like Ganesha at all. He wanted to fight and beat Ganesha to prove his mite. But Ganesha had other plans and with one blow brought the Asura to his feet!
Who was this Demon, and why was he so jealous of Ganesha? Did Ganesha pardon him? You have to read this book to find out!
We loved the fact that this adaptation is designed for a Universal audience, while also making it fun and entertaining for young kids. The book spreads a message of how Ganesha makes our negatives smaller and positives bigger. It is not how big you are that matters, but how big your goodness is!
The illustration style used in this book is a combination of the popular 2D animation and motifs from Indian Madhubani Art! When it comes to picture books, the illustrations really must make an impact! This book does exactly that - with wonderful bright illustrations that add a mystical feel to the story. Be it the beautiful snow-capped Kailash mountains, where Ganesha lived with his family; or the stunning illustrations of the Asura! These are sure to capture one's attention and make the reading even more captivating for young children.
Highly recommended for all kids 5 and above!
